Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium. (S)he was laying in the shade, Sony Too had to work hard to capture this beautiful creature. Of course, what that means is it was very far away in the back of the exhibit. Wonder what (s)he is so interested in?

Sting Rays :: Pet Me, Pet Me!
.
Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium
Touch tank, they have their spines trimmed. They really seem to be people crazy. They moved about the tanks quickly and continuously, swimming right up, almost begging, puppy like, to be touched.
Pet me, PET ME!! Here I come, PET ME!!
* All those white spots and squares and such, are reflections of the ceiling lights. Between trying to capture these fast moving, 'in your face' creatures and the water movement and the lights, it was quite the challenge. Flash NOT used. And, no, I did not pet them. I probably should have, but, well, chickened out.

Prickly Pear Tree ?

A Fungus That Looks Like a Mushroom, Is It?
.
Found January 1, 2013 while geocaching in Tucson, Arizona. One white (not over interesting), and one this dusty fuzzy looking rusty color, which grabbed my attention.

Tiger, At Dinner Time
.
Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium, Litchfield Park, Arizona.
Photo taken from some distance, I focused through the square of the chain link fence. I could not get to the fence, it was 10 feet or so away. I picked one square, and centered the tiger's head in it, zoomed and shot. He was enjoying a rack of ribs. If he had not been having dinner I could not have been able to get a shot, since he was eating, he was still.
